Maestro just dropped on Netflix here. I haven't finished it yet but I don't understand why people were saying this movie doesn't feel like a biopic when it's exactly as formulaic as any other Oscar bait biopic.
Bradley so far has had only one expression on his face. The dialogue feels very "movie dialogue" and I don't get why there was a dance number at the beginning.

I had to stop because I was bored and the movie was feeling like homework.
Unless it improves dramatically in the second half, I truly don't understand all the praise it has gotten.

I can feel the desperation for awards. I miss when biopics were fun and wacky, like Amadeus or I'm not there. This pretentious stuff is just 🤮.

Oh god this time of year is so stressful for me lmao. The FOMO!! What if something I wanna see leave theaters before I can?! Am I really expected to wait like a few more weeks or months for streaming, like a CAVEMAN?!?!

...anyway, seeing The Iron Claw on Friday before I head to my folks' for Xmas, then The Color Purple and Ferrari double feature on the weekend after Xmas, Memory and hopefully All of Us Strangers sometime the week after that. The reviews are making me think I should bump Boys in the Boat til later, though I'm bummed because I liked the book a lot. Maybe my mom will wanna see it over the holiday.

And I gotta find time to see Poor Things again because of my bad decision-making the first time around. 😬 and I have to squeeze in Fred Claus for WHM.

All of us strangers is the best movie of this year and Andrew Scott gave the best performance sorry Cillian I love you but willing to throw one Irish man under the bus for my number one Irish emerald to succeed

Can’t wait for society of the snow. Also recently watched Lola which was great
